Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

Trust my rage

Wow, Jessica, he looks big already! And very cute and smiley!

What happened in NYC today? Some sort of large storm I take it?

And our culture gets more bilingual every day, so it can only help her to know some spanish.

Getting back to this topic, for a moment, granted we live in a Spanish speaking place, but Ellie mixes Spanish and English all the time - aguamelon (my current favorite), mas apples, aqui baby, and so on. Thankfully, everyone here understands here but it always throws people when we are back in the US.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.

BlogWarBot: I'm BlogWarBot. Are you one of those radical feminists?
Guest: No, I'm a tree-hugger.
BlogWarBot: Do you recognize the privilege involved in your calling yourself a tree-hugger?
Guest: Yes.
BlogWarBot: You seem awfully positive. Did you read Rand as a child?
Guest: No.
BlogWarBot: That's the problem with people like you. You're never constructive about anything.
Guest: I know.
BlogWarBot: Typical. An expression of privileged ignorance.
Guest: You are so right.
BlogWarBot: Do you sometimes wish you were so right?
Guest: No. I don't know anything.
BlogWarBot: I'm sure you've oppressed a woman into know anythinging for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, why is it that the tornado was in Brooklyn, but people in Queens will still have a hell of a time trying to get home tonight? [link]

It was seriously just two inches of rain about 7 this morning, but it completely fucked up all public transit.

Our wings are not tired.

Wouldn't throw people in S. Florida. I find the mixed language thing fun. A lot of parents don't want their kids speaking anything other than English. They go through this big effort to not teach their children Spanish/Creole/Whatever. Like the kids aren't going to pick it up from all the adults around them.

Actually, as I was typing, I was thinking, 'well, except when we go to Florida"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Assuming it is static, an amusing photo on the NYT website right now: [link]

Um...

The Piss-Screen is a pressure-sensitive inlay for urinals, to play a game with your pee. The game is displayed on a screen above the urinal. We teamed up with bars across Frankfurt, and installed the Piss-Screen in the men's restrooms. We designed a driving game in the style of Need for Speed with the clue that people would have a terrible crash into the oncoming-traffic if their reaction was too slow. After the crash we placed the message: "Too pissed to drive? Take a Taxi instead! Call: 069-733030"
